Spectrum Noir and Stampfairy

I Just can't help myself...I bought another pack of spectrum noir pens, this time the reds, so I have the reds and the browns now and I'm trying to get the hang of colouring with them. I don't know about you but I use a different technique with every pen type, don't know why but I colour with copics, promarkers and now spectrum noir pens in slightly different ways. Anyway, I have started making my Christmas cards as I am always asked to make cards for people a month before Christmas and I end up rushing through them and running out of cards for myself, this year I will be prepared! I won some gorgeous stampfairy images last week and I adore them, I try to keep my Christmas cards simple and these little cuties are so easy to colour, I've added some stickles and glossy accents and I'm chuffed with how they turned out.

This is my first one and I've almost finished my second using a cute little snowman. I've added some ribbon and cute little jingle bells. Hope your having a great weekend, currently watching finding nemo .....again! I swear I could act in it but the kids seem to love it (my 17 year old kid that is lol)

Hi Donna, I said the same thing on my blog. I do cards to sell every year and last year I sold my OWN cards 'cos I ran out....I then had to rush all my give aways!!Started early this year and have made 36 so far, so getting there!!Thank you for joining us this week at Sweet Stampin, with this gorgeous Christams card.

Well you've certainly got the knack already with these pens Donna, this is so cute and your bear is coloured so beautifully. Have a few colours but not sure if I want to collect more or not. The jury is out lol.

LOL ... I know, how did I miss them pens im never off laptop :)im not getting them, i have loads of copics and a few promarkers, so I will be good .. LOL .. Oh you are so lucky getting to a jewellery class, I googled to see if there were any in my area, couldn't find any :( so im just self teaching :) love my swarovskis, they are expensive, but you cant beat them, I think they sparkle like diamonds :) and wow oh oh you are blessed with doing bridesmaid too and making jewellery for the bride, what an honour, cant wait for to see pics :) post what you make :) xx

Congrats on your win at Stampfairy, you're putting them to great use. I was going to buy some Spectrum Noirs and read some reviews that they were not as good as Copics, but they are a whole lot cheaper. I'm interested to know if you get on OK with them !

Oh my gosh, this is adorable. Your image is beautifully coloured and the little bells are a wonderful accent. Thanks for joining us on the Stampfairy challenge. I hope that you will play again soon. Carissa :)
